sent via TraceableLIVE.
ALL OPERATIONAL DIFFICULTIES
If this thermometer does not function properly for any
reason, please replace the battery with a new high-quality
battery (see “Battery Replacement” section). Low battery
power can occasionally cause any number of “apparent”
operational difficulties. Replacing the battery with a new
fresh battery will solve most difficulties. If the voltage of
the battery becomes low °C and °F symbols will flash.
